Our little girl loves it here! There are so many activities she can do and all of the carers so far have been amazing. Really recommend.
My daughter absolutely loves going to Nursey at Kiddi Caru. I think that all the staff are fantastic and really go the extra mile to help my child learn and develop in all aspects of her life. The Nursey do a varied and a fun packed programme which in turns helps her to have the necessary life skills to interact with other children and be the wonderful little girl she is turning into.
An outstanding nursery with attention to detail, excellent staff, amazing facilities and on-site kitchen. Can’t fault them with my little one. Opportunity to be outside all the time if he wants as there is AstroTurf and also chickens! Follow strong development programs and have dedicated carers. Wouldn’t hesitate recommending them.
Friendly staff and engaging activities for the children to explore during the day. My son loves the food too! He is always offered seconds, which he will usually have!
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kiddi Caru - in fact, we already have!
Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Exeter, Sowton is in my view outstanding. My child has attended from aged 9 months and is now 20months. Settle sessions were reassuring for parent and child. Staff listen and get to know each child well. Key workers bond with children well and inspire confidence in the child and parents. The environment is happy, friendly and stimulating. Staff work as a supportive team. The routine is clear and children feel safe knowing what to expect throughout the day. Activities are fun and educative. The resources available every day are fantastic. My child's development and social skills have been boosted by attending Kiddi Caru. Communication with parents is excellent day to day and in exceptional circumstances such as illness, accident, or special events. Parents evenings and fun days give a sense of community and involvement.
She enjoys all the activities they offer but cooking and craft is what she enjoys the best. The staff are amazing and so friendly and I cannot praise them enough. They are so attentive to each child’s needs, and they are so helpful with milestones like toilet training etc.
The outdoor play is a major love of my daughters and she loves telling me about the chickens they have outside. They are out in most weathers and there are so many different activities.
I viewed many nurseries before settling here and none of them compared. My daughter thrives here, the staff are excellent as are the indoor and outdoor areas. My daughter has learnt so much that I feel she wouldn't have done if she didn't go to this nursery.
My Son absolutely loves the nursery and looks forward to his nursery days each week.
We know he is in safe hands and that every day is a learning day, not just a play day.
Our child has developed hugely with the fantastic range and variety of activities, games, tasks and the general day to day runnings. The staff within Holly and Mistletoe have been superb. Friendly, informative, caring and very in tune with each child, their needs and how to overcome hurdles. We have always been impressed with Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and continue to believe this is by far the best nursery within the area and would definitely recommend this to anyone.
However, to my delight, she settled at Kiddi Caru straight away. She loves all of the Key Carers in her room and gets very excited whenever she sees where she is when I pull into the nursery car park. All the staff have been amazing with her, and I have seen a huge boost in her development and independence.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Kiddi Caru, Sowton. I feel very lucky that my daughter attends this nursery.
My daughter started at Kiddi Caru at 11 months old and from day one I have been absolutely sure she is taken very well care of. The staff is amazing and always very welcoming, taking their time to talk to you both when you arrive and when you leave, they never seem stressed or rushed but they work extremely efficiently and all seem to enjoy their work there. I am always surprised by all the different things they do with the toddlers from messy play to sing and sign and yoga, and I love getting paintings and drawings to take home almost every week. One of the best things for us parents is the little personal books that the staff writes in every day that we take home to read about what they have been up to that day. Last but not least, very impressed with all the tasty and diverse food that is served to the kids. All in all - very satisfied and reassured that my daughter is very happy at Kiddi Caru. Would highly recommend to everyone.
Cannot fault Kiddi Caru at all, they are an excellent nursery. Two of my children have been here and have loved it and learnt so much.
Although the nursery and staff are excellent, sometimes the management / money making side of Kiddi Caru over shadow the care and help for working parents. e.g they charge for bank holidays, even though no one is in. They charge 100% for holidays, they are not helping with the new 30hrs free scheme the government has introduced.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and we are happy to hear that you think our nursery and staff are excellent. Providing outstanding childcare is our top priority and nothing would overshadow that. It is stated in our T&C’s about the days of the year we charge for and if you would...
I love the variety of activities on offer and my favourite part of the day is reading what she has been up to in her book and being often surprised by the volume and choice of food that has been consumed! Thank you Kiddi Caru
Ever since our child started attending Kiddi Caru at Sowton at her age of 1, we have been extremely impressed with the dedication, love, caring and respect demonstrated by the staff. We are happy that our individual needs have always been accommodated as much as possible and we can see how our little one has grown in confidence. Kiddi Caru has been a truly wonderful nursery for us.
Our whole experience of Kiddi Caru has been excellent from start to finish. Our daughter was made to feel extremely welcome from day 1, and her learning has developed extremely quickly.
I have recommended this nursery to others because it does a fantastic job. There is always lots going on for the kids and nothing is too much trouble. My son loves it here and I am happy that he is safe and well looked after. The hours are good and finish later than a lot of nurseries which helps me and all the staff know the children well and are really attached to them a fantastic place thanks Kiddi Caru.
My husband and I are very impressed with the care given to our daughter. She thoroughly enjoys her time at Kiddi Caru and is thriving in the learning environment provided. She is making some lovely friends and experiences many different activities. We would definitely recommend Kiddi Caru to others.
Both my children have been very happy at Kiddi Caru. They have the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of activities in a caring environment.
